CIS Configuration - Database

Mulepunch
Mulepunch over 11 years ago

Hello,

Is it possible to have multiple 'Orcad Property Names' linked to the same 'Table Property Name' when configuring a database. Please see the picture here of my current database configuration (www.dropbox.com/.../Capture.JPG. My current configuration has the Manufactures name linked to 'Value'. This is a bit annoying because the schematic symbols by default displays the 'Value' field, which is linked to the Manf Name. I would prefer that the symbols display the MPN instead by default. Can I have line 9 in the attached picture linked to two 'Orcad Property Names' (ie...MPN and Value)? I have tried using commas, semicolons, colons, slashes but nothing seems to work here.

    No.  The database field name maps to a single property.  There is no reason to try what you are doing.  You should map the MPN to "value" and just run that as your PN in your BOM.  CIS part manager has a lot more tricks if you need to do something special.

    Can't you just create a new CIS configuration file and set it up correctly?
